Common Questions Answered

Quick help
Q1 Does this tool alter my original PDF content?
No. Our tool adds page numbers as overlay layers without modifying your original content. All images, fonts, vector graphics, hyperlinks, and document metadata remain completely preserved.
Q2 How large can my PDF be for processing?
There's no fixed limit since processing happens locally. Your device's available RAM determines capacity. Most users successfully handle files up to 150 MB or documents with 800+ pages without performance issues.
Q3 Can I create "Page X of Y" format numbering?
Absolutely. Our tool supports various formats including simple numbers, roman numerals (i, ii, iii), alphabetical (a, b, c), and custom formats like "Page {current} of {total}" for professional documentation.
Q4 Is my data secure with this tool?
100% secure. All processing occurs in your browser locally. We don't upload, store, or transmit any files to servers. Your documents are automatically removed from memory when you close the tab or refresh the page.
Q5 What if I need to number only specific pages?
You have full control. Our tool allows you to apply numbering to selected page ranges, skip specific pages like covers or title pages, and set custom starting numbers for different document sections.
